Can we stop talking about the whore with the disgusting ass tattoo that for some reason inserted herself into this nonsense?
Talk about them if it's fun to do so. Otherwise, don't.
If I remember right, gamergate had something like 7-13 "literally who"s at some point. Even completely ignoring these people didn't work as they'd false flag themselves, or simply make up harassment and death threat claims whole cloth.
Well this is a
games journalism thread that's been defunct since people there only ever really talked about the podcast media group Giant Bomb, which has now been effectively dead for some time.
Partly because game journalism died. No one reads Kotaku or Polygon or Waypoint any more.
The MSM sperging about shit is increasingly useless as if you hear MSM bullshit continually simultaneously attacking something using exactly the same language every time, it's increasingly obvious it's some bogus agenda BlackCock gave them.
Agreed, but at the time of gamergate, there was little going on. Maybe Brexit if you lived in the UK, but since 2016 we've had Trump, and 2020 there was Covid of course. I don't know if they still make Law and Order any more.
I saw this comment on a Youtube video, "Remember when Leftists were against censorship?"
Their view of history is skewed.
Not really.
In the UK, it was traditional family values conservatives that were saying games are going to turn people into killers. Remnants of the Mary Whitehouse types. Groups like feminists existed but were universally laughed out the room.
I know people say that the left and right flipping stances is false (I believe in horseshoe theory myself), but when I see the left, that was against war in the middle east, now demanding we get involved in Ukraine and Gaza, it's easy to see where the meme comes from.
This anti-gamergate rant from 2015 is a great example of that.
If the timestamp doesn't work, or tldw, the gist is that this soyboy leftie got his start going on radio debates to defend games from censors. This guy would later go on to claim anime arse causes rape.
